Then you were mighty polite to do all that chopping and hauling for her, weren't you, boy?
I was just tryin' to hep her out, suh.
You're a mighty good fellow, it seems--did all this for not one penny.
Yes, suh. I felt right sorry for her, she seemed to try more'n the rest of em.
But you weren't in a fix--you testified that you were resisting Miss Ewell. Were you so scared that she'd hurt you, you ran, a big buck like you.
Scared of arrest, scared you'd have to face up to what you did?
No suh, scared I'd hafta face up to what I didn't do.
No suh, I's scared I'd be in court, just like I am now.
Didn't Mr. Ewell run you off the place, boy?
You're very candid about this, why did you run so fast?
Don't think, what do you mean?
I mean I didn't stay long enough for him to run me off.
No suh, I don't think he did.
I says I was scared, suh.
Anything happening Scout?
No sir. Dill here, he's sick... Come on out under the trees. Heat got you, I expect...
Well, Dill, after all he's just a [black man].
I don't care one speck. It ain't right, somehow it ain't right to do 'em that way. Hasn't anybody got any business talkin' like that-- it just makes me sick.
